Best Skinny Jeans Ever

The hunt for a great fitting pair of jeans can be quite the task for any woman. Throw my height of 5'2", butt and thighs into the mix and well, you can imagine that it's a daunting process. I wanted to share with everyone the BEST fitting pair of skinny jeans I've come across for thick, petite girls out there: Always Skinny jeans by Gap.

I must admit that I was a bit skeptical because I've never been a fan of Gap... a bit too bland and boring for my taste, but I urge you to go in there and try these jeans on.... the fit is PERFECTION! No joke... the waist has no gaps, the stretch is great, and it's available in all lengths (regular, petite and tall). They have about 5 different washes for the jeans and they range in price from $59.50 - $69.50.

I was sold when these jeans eased over my thighs. There was no struggle, having to jump and wiggle around, or plie to make them fit. On top of that the petite length was heavenly!

Icing on the cake? For the entire month of July shoppers will receive 40% off any ONE regular priced item every Wednesday of the month. So, July 7th/14th/21st/28th. That discount is also available at all GapKids, babyGap and GapBody stores.

Gap Jeans: Born to Fit

I was invited by Luvvie of Awesomely Luvvie to attend her "Gap Jeans: Born to Fit" event this past Saturday. The idea of getting a free pair of jeans definitely was the luring factor to attend, but I couldn't fight my curiosity to see how Gap had stepped up their jean making skills. I'm 5'2" and have hips, thighs and a butt so I've never gravitated towards Gap jeans. I need something with not only a nice amount of stretch (at least 2% spandex) but a "short" length. To my delight Gap supplied Luvvie with their sexy boot, real straight, and always skinny jeans in sizes 0-12. After eying the different styles I set my sights on the "real straight" line of jeans. I hit the jackpot when I tried on my first pair and they fit like a glove. The true test of a pair of jeans is when I'm sliding them around my thighs/hips/butt - - the stretch is a must! I was elated when they glided over and I didn't have to bounce around, struggling to get them to fit. On top of the nice stretch and wash of the jeans they are extremely soft (98% cotton, 2% spandex). Some of the pros of the "real straight" jeans are:

~ contoured waistband eliminates the gap most people get in the back
~ designed to lift and flatter your butt
~ premium stretch denim retains its shape

While I didn't try on the other 2 styles of jeans I did pay attention to what the ladies had to say. The "sexy boot" was really long. I don't know if Gap only sent long lengths, but this line is definitely for the 5'4" and up crowd. As for the "always skinny" these run a bit small and are basically leggings in jean form. I think that for women with any curve whatsoever... and still desires a skinny jean look, go for the "real straight" because you'll feel ridiculous trying to squeeze into the "always skinny". I suggest everyone to take a chance on Gap Jeans - - try on a pair because you'll be pleasantly surprised. They've done a good job and we, the consumer, can reap the benefits.
